Introduction to 3D Printing at Home 2016

Everything you need to know to start 3D printing amazing stuff yourself in your own home...

A few years ago I took the plunge and bought myself a 3D printer. Since then I've been teaching other people how to 3D print at home. If you're interested in 3D printing but haven't bought your own printer yet, this course is definitely for you.In this course I'll teach you what 3D printers are, how they work, how to purchase one and how to use it to create amazing 3D prints of your own. Many people are a little too scared to buy their first printer because they don't know really know what's involved in running one. I felt like this myself once.I now know exactly what's involve and that's what I'll teach you in this course. I'll also demonstrate how to design a simple chess piece using two free design tools, Tinkercad and OpenSCAD. This'll give you a feel for what's involved in inventing and designing your own products.Even if you don't want to buy your own 3D printer yet, after going though this course you'll be able to start designing your own products immediately. I'll even show you how to outsource your printing to someone else so you can become involved in this amazing technology without ever having to purchase a 3D printer!This course consists mainly of videos, slides and on screen demonstrations by myself. It should only take you a couple of hours to complete, but it'll be a couple of hours very well spent.Thanks for taking an interest in this course and I look forward to you being my student.
